What Is a Carbohydrate?                          little tea break?

                        Having class
                           outdoors
                            was fun!

Umm...                                           That reminds me...
                                                      there's still

                                                 something I don't
                                                 quite understand.

saccharide, which                                get! Rice is a carbohydrate,
 is the same as a
                                                      so it's basically made
  carbohydrate,                                      of sugar. But then why
          right?
                                                             isn't it sweet?!

                            Yes. Carbohydrates   CSaarc=bc oShuhagyrdaidrreat=e
                            are saccharides and              right?!
                          so is the sugar known
                            as "table sugar" or                       What's different about
                                                                       cake that makes it so
                                 "blood sugar."                         sweet and delicious?
